So what is that in Gordon's left hand???

In 1910 Brooks Gordon hit .205 in 73 games for the Waco Navigators. He also managed the team.

Gordon was a player for 9 seasons (1904 to 1914, with gaps), records show that he managed 8 seasons (1903 to 1914, with gaps), and in 1911 he was designated a substitute umpire for the Texas League.

Frank, the more I look at Gordon's left hand, the more it looks like a baseball box.
It's too big to be an Old Mill cigarette slide box, and too small to be a book.
Any thoughts.
